In order to ensure a smooth experience with online courses, below are some tips on good webinar etiquette:

Mute yourself

Make sure you are muted whenever you are not speaking. When a lot of people are on the call, even a little background noise from multiple sources becomes amplified and is very distracting.

Use Headphones whenever possible (Avoid Microphone feedback)

To avoid your speakers feeding back to your microphone and projecting the sound on a loop.

Only have one set of speakers per room

If you are in the same room as others on the call, make sure there's only one set of speakers on. 

If two people have speakers on, it will also create microphone feedback, and result in sound looping for everyone (ideally use headphones, see above). 

Turn Your Camera on

Make sure to turn your camera on. Not only to show you are attending, but also to help the professor see if you understand the lecture, or if you need something explained further.

Look professional

Both you and your environment should be presentable.

Raise your hand

Zoom allows you to raise your hand, simply go to "Participants" and the button will be at the bottom of the screen.

Screen name

Make sure you use your real name, along with your team number in order to help the professor and staff see who is who, and easily assign you to a virtual breakout room. 

For instance: 01 - John
